It’s always good to have all the
attention to ourselves when we are in pain. That love and care makes us very
comfortable and sometimes makes us reluctant to move out from it. When you
think you are sick repetitively, then even a doctor will not be able to
diagnose us because at the end of the day seeing the negative in us even the
apple runs away.
In life, we will never remain in
the same place. There will be constant changes making us adapt to multiple
possibilities. Among them for me was being selected to study in Kelantan. Year
by year it does feel like home and I believe home is where the heart is and it
can be anywhere away from your home back in your hometown as well. Recently I
got my toe hurt in the campus where it made me difficult to walk. I knew the
pain and thought of sharing what I’m going through with my friend. I woke up in
the morning and told I got hurt. The one reply I got was “Good luck to
you.” The first time someone told me
like that instead of questioning me how I got hurt. I was shocked but I thanked
my friend and agreed that I do need a lot of luck to make it through the day.
Somehow, I did manage the whole day with some help here and there.
I realized one thing from that
good luck my friend sent me. We are responsible for our own actions even if it
means falling and getting hurt. My friend or even my mom will not be coming all
the way here to treat or look after me. I’m the one suppose to lick my own
wounds. When the good luck is seen in a
rear view, it seems rude but look DEEP into that view. My friend has gone
through double the pain where when I tell this kind of minor thing it seems
like just a normal matter. I do not blame anyone because everyone has gone
through pain in some part of their life. So, always compare yourself with the
worst of others.
My friend’s sister is another
fighter. She is a slow learner where my friend always gets worried about her
sister fearing she’ll get left behind in school. But she isn’t one bit afraid.
This is because, before bed one night she asked her sister,
“Dear, are you really doing ok in
school? Tell, akka (big sister) I’ll help you.”
“No need ok. I know how to
manage. Just teach me what I don’t know. That’s enough”, replied her sister.
Tough girl huh? Not an ounce of
intimidation towards those who perform well. That little girl believes on her
capability and never doubts her potential. She realizes that this is her road
and she’s the one who has to steer the car. Her parents and elder sister can
only point the direction. A flower which doesn’t feel afraid to wilt because
she knows she will have the strength to bloom and become the most beautiful
flower once again.
Sometimes the shortest reply or
story will really stir the emotions within us. Unbelievable yet it will cause a
major change in our life. We will learn to smile in pain and realize the power
of optimism when we manage to beat the pain and come out of it. There is always
a reason behind every pain and thanks to the people around me I realize that I
have to look deep into those eyes which hold many stories. Look into the heart
which still functions with an untended crack. The world will be full of hopes
for every one of us and remember that only you are the one entitled to deal
with life’s misery. Another’s hand might or might not be available but make
sure your hand is ready to pull you through it.
NEVER GIVE UP AND BE PROUD OF THE PAIN YOU HAVE WENT THROUGH!
